About

Porth ward sits at the confluence of the Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach valleys, a geographic focal point for the wider Rhondda area. The landscape is defined by steep valley sides and the river, with terraced housing ascending the slopes. Its central location has historically made it a key transport and commercial hub, with the main roads and a railway station connecting the valleys.

The area's layout reflects its industrial past, centred around former mining communities. A distinctive local landmark is the preserved winding wheel of the former Lewis Merthyr Colliery, a stark reminder of the dominant industry that once operated here. Daily life revolves around the compact town centre, with its essential shops and services serving the residential neighbourhoods.
